Case Study
Every year Life with Cancer provides hundreds of free classes, support groups, and special events to help people navigate the mental and emotional aspects of their cancer journey. Their previous registration system was outdated and created unnecessary friction for users during an already challenging time.
Navigating the system itself was difficult. It didn't work well on phones or tablets, and even on large screens the interface was difficult to use. Many of the users of this system are going through cancer treatment, meaning, from a user experience perspective, they're already feeling physically unwell. They may also be dealing with degenerating eye sight, limited mobility, neuropathy, arthritis, shakes, and in some cases, seizures. Life with Cancer needed a solution that would make their unique care, support, and resources truly accessible to everyone who needed them.
We collaborated with Life with Cancer to create a comprehensive class registration system that brings all their programming together in one intuitive, accessible platform. The new system functions like an app but is accessible to any user on any device through a browser. A calendar interface works seamlessly across devices, while meeting accessibility standards for users with disabilities. The unified event ecosystem integrates hundreds of support services, classes, and events into a searchable database with easy to use and intuitive filtering capabilities.
- Intuitive calendar interface with multiple viewing options (monthly, weekly, daily, list) works flawlessly across all devices
- Ability to filter by event type (in-person, online), category, and other parameters helps users quickly find relevant support
- Generous touch targets ensure users with limited motor control can easily navigate and register without frustration

The responsive calendar interface offers multiple viewing options while maintaining standard accessibility across devices, helping users quickly find events that fit their schedule and preferences.
Detailed event cards provide all necessary information at a glance, with streamlined registration capabilities that reduce cognitive load for users dealing with cancer-related challenges.


The comprehensive filtering system allows users to easily find exactly the type of support they need, whether online or in-person, creating a personalized experience for each individual.
The new Life with Cancer class registration system transforms how people access critical support services during their cancer journey. By creating an accessible, intuitive platform that works seamlessly across all devices, we've helped remove barriers to the hundreds of free resources that can make a meaningful difference for patients and their families.
